39. There are multiple conflicting reports for the reduction potential of both Selectfluor and NFSI. We selected the most recently reported values (see ref.[16]). See also:.

44. NFSI absorbs at 270 nm with a shoulder at 277 nm. For an absorbance spectrum, see the Supporting Information.
45. The absorption maxima for acetone occurs at 270 nm and tails to 330 nm. See: Tables of Physical & Chemical Constants, 16th ed., 1995, chapter 3.8.7. Kaye & Laby Online, version 1.0, 2005: www.kayelaby.npl.co.uk (retrieved April 15, 2013).
46. With the exception of substrate 1g, which was originally reported in a previous Selectfluor reactivity study (ref.[8]), all compounds are new. See the Supporting Information for experimental details.
47. Substrates 2g, 2h, and 2i could be synthesized by using our photoredox catalysis method (ref.[9]) owing to the lower energy light that was utilized.
48. The remaining mass balance contained fluorinated products from nonselective reactions.

55. The identity of the base is not clear as there are three possible candidates: B8, 16, and bis(phenylsulfonyl)amide.

58. As product 14 is relatively unstable, we primarily focused on the decarboxylation rather than the appearance of specific radical products.
59. Whereas B7 and B8 are not mechanistically necessary as bases, in: sensitized photofluorodecarboxylations, the addition of these pyridine bases leads to the formation of fewer fluorinated byproducts with select substrates. See the Supporting Information for additional details.
